Challenge Starts March 5th, 12:00 am EST.



This month’s Challenge is FAN-ART based off of the Dungeons and Dragons - Monster Manual art.

Listed are some of the Monsters that I think are iconic to alot of Dungeons and Dragons campaigns. Especially the old-timers who have been playing since the 70's - 80's with the AD&D rules.

You don't have to adhere to these designs. Posted are some of the original Monster Manual drawings as well as some more recent interpretations of the same creatures.

*** In no way does Wizards of the West Coast endorse or support this challenge. This challenge is to create FAN ART only. ***

~Challenge Guidelines~

- Keep the main design points of the monster
- Must be recognizable as original monster
- When starting post your monster name and image used as reference
- W.I.P.S. , post often to keep us updated and for feedback/ critiques.
- Use of any 3D program is fine, but Zbrush or Mudbox should be used for hi-res detail. Unlimited polycount.

You don't have to stick to this list either it is just to give you inspiration and direction. But they do need to be Dungeons and Dragons monsters.

Good Luck!!
